Abstract: The invention is a disposable liner for an AFO/contracture foot splint that is sufficiently soft and flexible so as to comfortably conform to body surfaces and provide a substantially close fit to prevent leakage. The liner has a fluid permeable layer, an absorbent layer, and a moisture-proof layer which is a liquid impervious back sheet disposed on the outer surface of the liner. The liner has a toe end, a foot region, a leg end, a leg region and a heel region. The foot region has winged extensions terminated with fastening elements for securing the foot region. The leg end of the liner has tabular extensions terminated with re-closable fastening elements for securing the leg region of the disposable liner to the leg. The heel region of the liner has an opening, which enables a portion of the wearer's heel to project through the heel region into heel “well” of a splint.

Abstract: An outer container (31) formed of moisture-impervious material having an elongate product dispensing sleeve (32) having a moisture-proof sealable opening (33) on one end and an enlarged product storage package (34) communicating with the dispensing sleeve (32). A medical material (14) is positioned within sleeve (32) and includes a substrate (16) formed of a suitable number of overlaid layers of a woven or knitted fabric such as fiberglass. Substrate (16) is contained within a tubular wrapping (18) formed of a soft, flexible non-woven fiber such as polypropylene. Substrate (16) is impregnated or coated with a reactive system which remains stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions but which hardens upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self-supporting structure.
